Know the home, know the fault

Kitchens in older properties might have limited worktop space, making built-in microwaves a practical choice to keep surfaces clear. In newer developments, integrated combination models are sometimes fitted at eye level alongside electric ovens. Whether a property sits near the edge of Bodmin Moor or closer to the centre, a built-in microwave is a heavy appliance that is difficult to remove when a fault develops. A microwave that runs but fails to heat the food usually has a fault within the high-voltage circuit, such as a failed magnetron, capacitor or diode. If the turntable stops rotating, the food will heat unevenly. This is typically caused by a broken synchronous motor situated under the floor of the cavity, or occasionally a snapped drive coupling. Door latches and microswitches are another area that requires attention. The door must close securely to engage the safety switches; if the plastic hooks wear down or a switch fails, the appliance will remain completely dead to prevent operation while open. Control panels and digital displays can also become unresponsive over time. We repair built-in and combination microwaves in your home. During a visit, we look at microwaves that run but do not heat, turntables that will not turn, door latch and switch faults, and unresponsive controls or displays. Because these appliances contain high-voltage components that retain a charge even when unplugged, they require specific testing procedures. We dismantle the casing in the kitchen to test the internal components and locate the fault.
